We spent a few days at Grandma's house this week for Spring break. It was a short but fun trip. We also went down to Burley to see Stefanie for a few hours. That was nice, I definitely wish it could have lasted longer but Sam was completely burnt out after a short night of sleep. I forgot to take pictures until the last day when we stopped at Grandma's work on the way out of town. My kids LOVE Grandma's work! She works at the Herrett Center museum on the CSI campus. It is a neat place with a mammoth sculpture lizards, frogs and other fun things to explore. The best part though is that Grandma always takes the boys down to the basement, where only the employees are allowed, to see the snakes, legless lizards, monitors, tarantula's and cockroaches that are housed there! My kids are so into it! This time Nick, the guy who handles all the snakes was there and took out a bunch and let the kids pet them. Rex was in heaven and was even scaring me a bit with how brave he was! It's such a great place. If you are ever in Twin Falls, I HIGHLY recommend it! And if you know my mom you just might get a special tour!

The boys and the Mammoth
I love this snake, he strikes at the glass whenever you are near him, fiesty little fellow! He's like the snake on Jungle Book.
Rex playing with the interactive dinosaur that only costs, $350!! It's pretty cool though it plays tug of war and cuddles and snores in your arms.

Looks like a fun place and that the boys had a fun time. I love taking the kids to interactive places Where they atually learn something.
Looks fun! The perfect attraction for little boys. Sorry we didn't catch up to you over spring break- looks like you had a fun time! I've been wanting to take the boys to the zoo. (Taylor too- if she's around!) But, not until its warmer. Do you guys want to come? talk to you soon.
